Legal news reporter, Estates Gazette three years, blogging since May, Twittering since June.
How social media is changing the way I work?
Work output for magazine has decreased as social media consumption has risen - perhaps change when honeymoon period ends.
At opposite ends of the spectrum of human experience, two of the most memorable moments were entering the world of lego dioramas and reading the tweet from @RSylvester that a nasty piece of work in Wichita had been found guilty of murdering his 18-month old daughter.
Remember, the media is not the message.
